Easter Sunday | Mark 16:1-8 | Brandon Barker | 4-1-2018

For Holy Week this year, we are studying select passages from the Gospel of Mark. As Mark’s Gospel opens, the people of God are being ruled and occupied by the Romans. Israel is under house arrest, and God is silent. Where was His promised kingdom? In the person and work of Jesus Christ, we see God’s kingdom come. However, Jesus does not come as expected. He does not come with chariots and trumpets; He comes humbly and quietly. He does not defeat the Romans in battle; He is crucified to defeat an Enemy even more sinister. But make no mistake; He is the King.
